Go the the Yellow Dog page and click on support. Your issue is 
addressed in the first few items.

As for the general notion that Yellow Dog is somehow not up to standard 
when it comes to just installing and having everything go right, 
nothing could be further from the truth. The day before yesterday I was 
installing Red Hat on a brand new AMD machine. The screen went dead 
with an out of sync message half way  through the install. After  I 
figured out that passing 'linux lowres' to the installer would get me 
through the installation process, I was treated to 'no signal' from the 
monitor. It only took me a day of messing around to finally figure out 
what was wrong and how to get video working on the machine. I still 
didn't have audio so I decided to go to an Installfest yesterday to 
learn from the experts. What I learned is that every distro has 
problems on every platform. That's just  the state of Linux. If Yellow 
Dog gave you sound and video 'right out of the box' you should be 
pretty happy. If you want an OS that will detect and enable all your 
hardware flawlessly with no effort on your part, then Panther is the 
way to go.
